Translational Session

Influence of Lower Urinary Tract on Pediatric Kidney Health

November 06, 2025 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM

Location: Room 371A, Convention Center

Session Description

This session discusses new knowledge on the impact of the lower urinary tract on pediatric kidney health. This knowledge includes effects of urinary tract infections (UTI) on kidney health, novel means of UTI prevention, advances in genetics, and management of complex lower urinary tracts in children receiving kidney transplantation.

Learning Objective(s)

• Describe advances in understanding the impact of UTI on loss of kidney function
• Explain pathogenic factors that affect risk for UTI
• Identify options for UTI prevention
• Describe genetic influences on the urinary tract
• Discuss management options for complex urinary tracts in the setting of kidney transplantation

Learning Pathway(s)

• Pediatric Nephrology
• Genetic Diseases and Development
